Festival of Genomics

January 23rd - 24th, 2019

United Kingdom

SPONSOR/EXHIBIT

The London Festival of Genomics is now the largest genomics event in the UK, and the second largest in Europe. Unlike other large genomics events (such as association meetings), the entire Festival is centred around the exhibition floors, with visitors spilling out into the show floor, and networking among our exhibitors.

Recent years have seen a transformation in the seniority and buying profile of Festival visitors. In the previous Festival, 54% of the 1700+ visitors were making or directly influencing buying/partnering decisions.

This year we are expecting 2000+ visitors, in line with previous year-on-year growth.

There is no better place in the UK, and arguably across Europe, to meet and do business with senior decision-makers across academia/research, pharma, healthcare and related sectors in the genomics space. Please see below our confirmed exhibitors what improvements have been made for this year.

IMPROVEMENTS THIS YEAR

We’re working harder than ever to ensure our sponsors and exhibitors meet their objectives from the Festival of Genomics. This year, several additional improvements have been made to further improve the seniority of the Festival audience and density of end users.

Agenda. This year’s agenda has been built from a series of senior-level Special Interest Group meetings taking place throughout 2018. As such, the issue addressed on the agenda are built for a senior audience, and more than every before, address top-level challenges, priorities and opportunities in and around genomics.

Special Interest Groups. This year we are providing dedicated discussion rooms for 40-60 senior professionals in each of the pharma, healthcare and data sectors, to openly discuss priorities, solutions and tactics, and to network in an intimate environment away from the cut and thrust of the show floor.

City Centre Location. We’ve moved the Festival from the difficult-to-get-to Excel centre in East London, right into the heart of Angel at the Business Design Centre. In particular, this move tested extremely well with more senior attendees who found it much more difficult to spare the time to travel to East London. Closer to transport links, it also makes is easier for everyone to travel to the Festival from outside of London and the UK.

Introduction of solution provider pricing. We have introduced solution provider pricing, which has the impact of increasing the proportion of end users, and therefore buyers, in the audience. It also lowers the number of non-sponsoring sales and BD people in the room.

Pre-event contact with attendees through the Festival app. Through our new Festival app, a couple of weeks out from the event, you will be able to identify and contact other Festival attendees, also isolating those in your LinkedIn network. You can use this service to reach out to attendees that you know, and book in a time to meet with them.

More variation in sponsorship and exhibition opportunities. Whether it’s more variation of booth size on the show floor, or improved opportunities to connect with your market before and after the Festival – we have many more options for you to engage with your target market in a way that they will welcome.
